I am married to a dutch citizen and we are living abroad. I sent IND email asking them about the dutch citizenship requirements for married couples. One of the requirements which surprised me that my dutch spouse must have a steady income even I am not moving to the Netherlands. I sent them that I am her supporter and she is dependent financially on me. Then, their answer was as follow:
" It is a requirement that your Dutch wife has a steady income, that shows that she can provide for her family members.
If your Dutch wife does not have a steady income, you do not fulfil the requirements for the application for Dutch citizenship, and therefor cannot submit a request for Dutch citizenship at the Dutch representative in *******."
Please advise
